<html> <body> Terry Here in south Texas I see nice pianos in rooms where the RH is high.  I've serviced a D where the air conditioned RH was 67%.  It had a DC dehumidifier system under it that was inadequate to the task.  After some discussion they agreed to build a humidity controlled closet for it. Most of my customers are mildly surprised when I suggest room or house humidity control.  None have adopted it so far.  Some are accepting the need for a DC system though.  The problem gets worse after the air-conditioning season is over. As for the quality of the pianos, the old ones need re-building.  Andrew At 07:27 PM 9/14/2005, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Here in the "Soggy South"  blued pins are not an option, because they will rust. 70% humidity is a  DRY day here! Blued pins are most certainly an option in the soggy south. Who is knucklebrained enough to restring a piano and then stick it in a 70%+ RH room?   P.S. And the pianos are, mostly, crap.   And just who is restringing crap pianos? Why?   Terry Farrell   ----- Original Message ----- From: "gordon stelter" <<a href="mailto:lclgcnp@yahoo.com">lclgcnp@yahoo.com</a>> > Here in the "Soggy South"  blued pins are not an > option, because they will rust. 70% humidity is a  DRY > day here! >     Thump > > P.S.
